With one or two exceptions, the impartiality of the audience, in so far as it was composed of Harvard men, deserves commendation. This is a matter about which we cannot be too careful, especially since one of the arguments of those who favor rigid restrictions in intercollegiate athletics is the alleged ungentlemanly conduct of the students during the contests. The base-ball season has thus opened very auspiciously for us, and our only hope is that the present success may continue...

...three chief substitutes for each. Their average for the past year was not below, and probably a little above, the average of the college at large, and the figures show there are both high and low scholars among them. The present method of marking is such that the averages cannot be obtained as exactly as a few years ago, but the conclusion is undoubtedly correct.
